First 10 yards are in the head
I think the team for Blackburn will be more intriguing than Leicester as I can't see Wilder changing much for Leicester apart from those enforced on him. Wilder usually plays his fringe players for these games and I see no reason why he wouldn't for this, especially given the improved strength of the squad and the need to give some of those games.
My guess...
GK Moore/Verrips?
RWB K. Freeman
LWB Osborn
LCB O'Connell/Bryan?
CCB Jagielka
RCB Stearman
MF Besic
MF L. Freeman
MF Morrison
SC Sharp
SC McBurnie
Mousset on bench as he looked way off when I saw him. The midfield is interesting because obviously Fleck won't play but I wonder if Luke Freeman will feature as he's been sub for both games so far but must be a shoe-in for the Leicester game. If we play him with Morrison and Besic, then we could see Besic as the DM with two attacking midfielders just in front. Again with Kean Bryan, he was brought it as cover for JOC but looked more comfortable in pre-season in centre midfield. I've put McBurnie in for the same reason as Luke Freeman, not started yet but likely to on Saturday.
